This community needs to stop complaining about AA and stop including the removal of it as a serious discussion in balance issues.

This game was a trash FPS without Aim Assist. If Dust had launched with the gameplay we have right now, its reviews would have been a ton better. Every major console FPS, from Halo to BF to CoD has AA. Most of it a LOT stronger than Dust currently has.

AA is needed for console controls to feel tight. The only way this game survives and grows is with aim assist on and as strong as it currently is. This is doubley true when kb/m is an option and lack of aim assist will give every player doubt that the person that killed them actually had more skill, or just used a better input device.

If you want dust to be a tiny little game that nobody plays, then cool, keep demanding that aim assist goes away cause "its a crutch." But honestly, I disregard anyone's opinion who thinks AA is a bad thing, as they are likely not a console FPS player and have no idea what they are talking about.

Complaining about AA is the excuse of folks who have a good gun game, but no other FPS skills so they assume the only reason that other guy killed them is because of AA (not because he has better awareness, better map knowledge, better team work, better builds, faster response time or anything else).

AA is a staple of console FPS games. DUST is not some unique pony when it comes to it. AA IS CONSOLE FPS. Its what makes playing FPS with a controller work. So quit being idiots.

Tho I should have added it my post it should always be a option.

No! It should never be an option.

HAha.. lol.. sorry i have to post on this...

Still defending the aim assist ? and then worrying about Dust being ported to the PC because people "May" cheat with things like "aimbots" ?

You don't like hacking.. but you are defending a hack.... this community still funny as ever i see.

Here is the thing... there are players out there who know NOT what a Rig is except to say "a truck" so for them they need AA.
I play both fps on my rig and console. And tho my preference is no aa, but as a great fps player I SEE NO CON in AA being in.

If your a great fps player then AA is HELPING YOU OUT EVEN MORE. lol And as a stealth scout, AA is negated to begin with. Meaning as in your dead before you know what hit you.

You don't drum the PC FPS rules on consoles. I play my fps on consoles are the DS3. On my rig the kb/m. Going full nerd with Kb/m on a console is not me. feels weird man.

AA was not in FPS's and were not a staple of them until COD introduced it.

Take it out and this game will be what it was supposed to be.

Aim asisst isnt a hack. Again, this is ignorant PC players who know nothing about console gaming trying to make a point.

Look at Halo. That game is a sport. MLG pretty much became a thing BECAUSE of halo. It has a MASSIVE range of skill sets. Come play me in halo and see if you can even get a kill.

Hint, you wont.

But it has incredibly strong AA. More than DUST.

AA doesnt negate the ability to aim. What it does do is make it so when you DO aim, your aim sticks a bit to compensate for you OVER adjusting your aim. It doesnt lock it on, it doesnt magically hover to the spot. you have to AIM first, it simply makes it a bit easier to mantain that aim and help you from over correcting due to the lack of fine input on a joystick.

A player with better aim will still destroy a player with none. What it avoids is the stupid stuff you saw in dust where two players who knew were facing each other could dance around each other for an entire clip without landing more than a few bullets.

AA does not completely negate speed or stealth. I will admit, it makes scouts a lot easier to kill once you know they are there. But if you get close enough, the stickyness of the aim assist wont matter at all. And speed is still incredibly useful for limitng the amount of time you are in the open and getting an enemies flank.

I was pretty decent at this game before AA, im pretty decent at it now. The difference is, I see less stupid fights where nobody can shoot each other. And more importantly, when I show this game to my friends they dont hate it.

No. This game was terrible without AA. It was a joke. Youd have a guy like Aldin just throwing down a proto rep nano and dancing on it while an entire squad shot at him because his proto gear and reps were so high people couldnt out dps his reps. Aldin is good, but the fact he could do that had little to do with HIS skill and more to do with how ****** the controls were.

AA does negate the ability to aim because all I have to do is turn on the x-axis until I hit a red-dot and it doesn't matter anymore, it's time to mindlessly shoot.

Wrong. It was Halo. Theres some articles on Bungie and AA and how it made FPS gaming on the console a thing people actually found acceptible.

Speed tanking is negated with AA. Take it out and we'll see the return of Scouts that can actually survive if they are seen.

I use AA because it's there. I don't need it, my gun game is good enough without it. There was a really good FPS on PS2, Black. No AA AT ALL and it was the best game on PS2, with few exceptions. AA is not required in FPS's, it's just that COD fans got so used to it that they suck without it.

I play all sorts of games, adventure, action, action-adventure, RPG's and yes, even FPS's. AA was not in FPS's and were not a staple of them until COD introduced it. Take it out and this game will be what it was supposed to be.

And one last thing: To those who say that it makes it fair to the slightly lesser skilled players, CCP has stated "PvP is inherently unbalanced".

This is an exgeration to say the least. Strafing is still incredibly key. If AA was as strong as you say, it would be useless to do so. But its not, its 100% vital still. So tell me, if strafing is still key, then wouldnt better aim negate better strafing still?
